Serves 4-8

INGREDIENTS:

16oz dry macaroni noodles (or shells)

1lbs pre-cooked lobster meat, roughly chopped

1/2 quart chicken stock

1/2 pint cream

2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

1/4 cup shallots, finely diced

1/4 cup sherry (or white wine)

1 stick of butter

4 tablespoons of flour

1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup finely minced parsley

Salt & Pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare noodles as per package directions

In a large saucepot over medium-high heat, add two tablespoons of butter and shallots. Saute until shallots are soft and translucent. Add in sherry or wine and cook until it’s almost fully reduced

Add 3 more tablespoons of butter and the flour and cook until the butter melts and combines with the flour to create a roux (approx. 3-4 minutes)

Add the stock and cream and cook until the mixture just starts to come to a boil and thicken (approx. 5-10 minutes)

Reduce the heat to low and add the cheese and stir until the cheese fully melts into the sauce

In a large mixing bowl, add together the cooked pasta, the sauce, and the lobster meat and gently toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste

Pour mixture into a large baking dish and top with the breadcrumbs and remaining butter. Place into a pre-heated oven set to broil for 4-6 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown
